OQ/1 1

Issue: TASS instructor recruitment

shortfall

r issue: riecruiLmy aim reieniion 01 insiruciors is

insufficient to keep required slots filled.

> Discussion: Impact is most severe in PS (51%
strength), TC (68%), CAS3 and FA (both 69%), but
impacts instruction more severely because soldiers quit
before getting certified (63% overall, with significant
negative impact in 9/20 TASS battalions. Need more
incentives, possibly: promotions points, pro pay,
possibly associated with 11 H" skill identifier, allow 2 ATs
annually. Changes to RC officer and enlisted career
development may be necessary..

> Recommendation / Impact / Status: On 19 Jan 01,

our REC tasked CG, 89 th RSC to investigate, define
problem, develop COA and report to next RETC six
months hence. DCS-ED agreed to explore RC utilization
of NG OCS courses or re-establishment of Reserve

OBCs. REC on 1

flQ/1 OfISARF.C initiatives. RCG MO ARNG will draft RFC Q

Issue: POI staffing procedures
inadequate

> Issue: POIs are being implemented by proponent
schools without adequate staffing.

> Discussion: Specifically problems include:
inadequate time for pre-implementation staffing;
implementation of POIs for which critical resources are
insufficient or unavailable; issuing of waivers allowing
omission of (admittedly unresourced) mission-essential
tasks; failure to commit oral promises of such waivers to
writing; long proponent delays (six months or more) in
acting on adverse feedback on POI workability; lack of
provision for RC validation of POIs either prior to or
after implementation; inadequate process for issuance
of POI errata sheets.

> Recommendation / Impact / Status: On 19 Jan 01,

our REC recommended to DCS-ED that TRADOC

wa y s t0 improve 2
hq / i tPOI staffing processes. On 23 January DCS-ED passed n

Issue: Distance learning inadequately

resourced

> Issue: POI development for distance learning (DL)
lags behind construction of RC DL facilities, which
consequently are under-utilized.

> Discussion: The state TAGs, in particular, have
developed magnificent facilities in expectation that
TRADOC proponents would soon be fielding POIs
compatible with DL. With few exceptions this has not
happened. Most TRADOC proponents are not according
DL adequate priority and funding consistent with
available facilities.

> Recommendation / Impact / Status: On 19 Jan 01,

our REC recommended to DCS-ED that TRADOC
explore ways to accelerate POI conversions and develop
appropriate student pay regulations, standardization

Issue: Inadequate ABCS Sustainment

Training

r issuer msiruciors m Army came Lommana
System (ABCS) MOSs lack adequate access to
equipment for their own sustainment training.

> Discussion: ABCS will be fielded to RC units in
FY02. TASS instructors will receive NETX but have
inadequate access to equipment for their on-going
sustainment training in these MOSs, all of which require
skills that degrade rapidly without regular weekly
practice. TASS units will have no ABCS equipment.
Owning MTOE units are not co-located with TASS units
to facilitate frequent borrowing, and do not possess
excess equipment they could loan semi-permanently.

> Recommendation / Impact / Status: On 10 Feb 01,

the Div(IT) Advisory Conference included this issue in
the larger issue of insuring meaningful Div(IT) input into
POI development, an issue also raised earlier at our

Piditiill

HQ /I Oto exnlore wavs to resolve the issue for FA instructors.

Issue: Student no-shows &
unpreparedness

> Issue; Percentage of courses non-conducted is high
(above 30%) due to no-shows and lack of student
preparedness.

> Discussion: Perennial command emphasis issue
raised most recently at our RETC on 19 Jan 01:

a. Need for proper student preparation (pre-
execution checklists) by TPUs.

b. Need for avoidance of quota inflation during
the TRAP process. Also, ARNG non-DMOSQ customer
base is not visible to the servicing DIV(IT)s.

> Recommendation / Impact / Status: REC resolved
that every participating agency investigate and report to
next REC six months hence on what works in their
areas. Consider pros/cons of training but withholding
certification of soldiers irrespective of injury profiles or
weicrht flacrs. NGB has made its non-DMOS Q custo mer

Issue: 3 rd Qtr TIE Personnel Rotations

> Issue : TIE Sill will lose 4 experienced soldiers
between now and July.

> Discussion: The following soldiers will depart when
shown; their replacements already have been identified
and have reporting dates in the same months.

COL Nollette, Director (May)

SGM Radke, Operations NCO (June)

MAJ Brown, Administrative Officer (June)

SSG Dandridge, PSNCO (July)
